Steps to Ownership

 

History

Mad Science was founded in 1985 in Montreal, Canada by two brothers Ariel and Ron Shlien. At age 12, Ariel used three hundred dollars he had saved working a paper route to purchase a helium-neon laser and started offering laser light shows to local DJs. In 1986, the teacher of a science and technology course at a local YMCA brought in the brothers and their laser to offer his students a great grand finale to his course. In 1995 Mad Science began franchising with offices in Toronto and Miami. By 2000 the Mad Science group had 86 franchise locations. Today, Mad Science is the world’s leader in science education with over 150 franchise locations in more than 20 countries.
